  • Episode 15 - Eddington
    Jun 19 2026

    Prepare yourselves! This is a contentious episode! I mean, it would be. We're talking Eddington after all, and nothing is as divisive as the Ari Aster directed black comedy/western/ take down of the pandemic era. Well, maybe Coke vs. Pepsi. That or whether or not you should put hard boiled eggs in your cereal. Just kidding. Nobody does that. Except I know someone who does and it's gross. Where was I? Right. Eddington. Join the Watch This! crew as they dissect the film and try to prove to one another that the movie is a masterpiece/suckfest. Who will win? Who knows. But seriously don't put hard boiled eggs in your cereal.

  • Episode 14 - The NeverEnding Story
    Jun 12 2026

    The Watch This! crew gathers to watch The NeverEnding Story this time around. This was Paul's pick, who hasn't seen it since he was a wee lad and yet still, somehow, has a ton of baggage when it comes the Wolfgang Petersen adaptation of of the epic fantasy novel by Michael Ende. Will Alex and Stephanie give the movie a pass or will they wish it would friggin' end already? Tune in and find out...oh, and keep an ear out for Paul's long lost German cousin who might make an appearance or two.
